4.4.4. Deskew Signals

In PIPE Direct mode, the R-Tile Avalon Streaming Intel FPGA IP for PCI Express removes any lane-to-lane skew introduced while crossing the EMIB. A dedicated deskew marker is used for detecting and compensating for any multi-lane skew introduced by EMIB. The deskew logic can account for a maximum of up to 3 cycles of parallel skew. After a cold/warm/hot reset or CvP update, the deskew process will start.

The user application logic needs to send a deskew marker every 16 clock cycles for the purpose of deskewing the data on the EMIB channels. The R-Tile Avalon Streaming Intel FPGA IP for PCI Express runs the deskew process every time it receives the deskew marker.
